You should report this as a bug, if an invalid file causes an application
to crash. That should never happen, irrespective of whether the file is
.qif, .gmp, .jpg, .ext or anything else. Software should check the format
of the file and either parse it or not. It should not crash.

I found downloads from PayPal were crashing the previous version. I opened
a bug, and it got fixed. Software should never crash.
